The OMNI Team 3 drug enforcement unit raided a house in Addison on Aug. 2 where Williamson and a boyfriend were living and allegedly making methamphetamine. Her teenage son was the only one in the house when police arrived. The house was sealed until it could be decontaminated from chemicals used in making methamphetamine.

Williamson and George Edward Terrill III, 43, turned themselves in on Sept. 20 to face drug and firearms charges that carry up to 25-year prison terms. Both pleaded guilty to reduced counts of possessing methamphetamine that carry maximum 10-year sentences.

“The drug has made her hit rock bottom. To put her kids in the middle of her drug problem is what this has done to her,” said defense attorney Dawn Vandusen of Adrian.

Williamson is now focused on getting her life back on track and being with her children again, said Vandusen.

“Most parents would do the exact 180-degree opposite of what you did,” Noe told her. Instead of shielding them from drug abuse, she exposed them to the risk, she said.

Noe said she agreed to the county jail and probation sentence because this is Williamson’s first felony conviction, “as big as it is.”
